Self-Licking Ice Cream Cone

I think you’ve got 50 nations in NATO that agree to a plan in
Afghanistan. It’s the Lisbon agreement, an agreement that, you know,
others, President Bush, President Obama, everyone has agreed is the
direction that we go in in Afghanistan.

“What is that
direction? It’s to take us to a point where we draw down by the end of
2014. That is the plan that has been agreed to. And it’s a plan that is
working. And very frankly, the only way to get this accomplished in
terms of the transition that we have to go through is to be able to set
the kind of timelines that have been set here in order to ensure that we
fulfill the mission of an Afghanistan that governs and secures itself.
That’s what this is about.”

He's a man with a plan and the plan fits the man and we're going to stay in Afghanistan.
